Quick Weekend Craft



Hello Reader,

Summer, as always, seems to be passing by way too quickly! I don't have any more little ones in school (no more homeschooling for me) but two are starting back to college soon and sadly, this summer there was no beach, no day trip, nothing... I keep telling myself there is still time for one little hurrah before the cold and wet weather rolls back in and I'm hoping it happens soon!

While I wait for my chance, I like to do something creative and that's what today's email is about. It's decoupaging a plain terracotta pot with a leftover paper napkin and some Mod Podge. It takes an afternoon, costs almost nothing, and turns a boring pot into something you would actually want on a shelf. If your own summer hurrah keeps getting pushed, this is a nice small win in the meantime.

Get the details here --> How to Decoupage a Terracotta Pot (or Planter) with Napkins​

What is the one thing you still want to squeeze in before fall?

Hello Reader, It’s a chilly but sunny fall day here, and it’s the kind of weather that makes me want to get into the kitchen and make something homemade.

With just a handful of ingredients, you can make a delicious batch of homemade apple butter that’s wonderful spread on toast, biscuits,...

Hello Reader, I had to pop into your inbox today because I just discovered something that saved me almost $100, and I thought you might want to know about it, too! Did you hear that Walmart+ is now included with Sam’s Club Plus memberships at no additional cost? Well, I’ve been paying for BOTH memberships separately, so when I heard the news, I immediately went to link my accounts. And guess what? I’m getting a $98.47 refund! 🎉 I was so excited that I took a screenshot of my confirmation....

2 ingredient pumpkin cake in a black baking pan

Hello Reader, If you’re craving something cozy and pumpkin-y without spending half the afternoon baking, I just updated one of my easiest fall recipes: my 2-Ingredient Pumpkin Cake.
